Mission:
The mission of Ransomed Life is to prevent Child Sexual Exploitation and provide holistic mental health care and restoration services for youth and families that are at-risk or have already experienced exploitation.
Vision: The vision of Ransomed Life is to see communities free from Child Exploitation.
As the leading experts in Child Sex Trafficking education in the Greater San Antonio area, Ransomed Life offers specialized training for professionals and awareness presentations for all members of our community—from elementary school students to adults—empowering everyone to make a difference. Whether it’s a school, church, or organization, our approach to prevention education is straightforward: Train every child and adult to help achieve NO CHILD SOLD in our community.
We believe that training is essential at every level—from educators and administrators to parents, youth leaders, and community members—because each adult plays a critical role in preventing the exploitation of children and teens (grades 3-12). By equipping adults with the knowledge and tools to recognize the signs of trafficking and how to intervene, we can create a united front against exploitation within our schools, churches, and organizations.

Ransomed Life is a local faith-based non-profit aiming to see communities FREE from child exploitation in San Antonio through Prevention Education and Client Services for survivors of trafficking, at-risk youth, and their families. Sarassa Inglis, Executive Director, explains Ransomed Life started in 2015 when a 14-year old was trafficked in San Antonio and had no resources to heal. The organization began with a mentor program responsible for training volunteers to walk alongside the youth and a community awareness team informing others about the issue of trafficking.
In 2017, they added their counseling program which now provides services to those 11-24 who have experienced sexual exploitation, or those at-risk of exploitation. Ransomed Life also provides presentations and trainings for everyone in the community - schools, churches, businesses and medical professionals that teach the reality of trafficking, exploitation, and grooming tactics. They also train parents on how to be their child’s trusted adult and how to protect their children from predators.
Ransomed Life’s youth presentation is age-appropriate for Elementary, Middle & High School youth. Brooke Bobo, Ransomed Life’s Prevention Education Manager, shares a common misconception that trafficking happens in one area of town or to one group of people. However, technology has vastly changed this crime.
The key is accessibility. If someone is online, they are accessible and if they are accessible, they are a potential victim. Access points to our children include social media, gaming, and online relationships.
Ransomed Life released a map of the clients they serve and the zip codes they live in. Nearly every zip code in Bexar County reflects one or more children that was either sold for sex or exploited through pornography.
They moved from an awareness campaign to prevention education, because they believe understanding the tactics of predators, how they groom our children and how they have access to our children is the key to prevention.
